Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Dragonplayer gives no feedback if it cannot play the media requested. If a user tells it to play, for example a DVD ISO or a word document, Dragon player just says "no media" loaded. Some feedback to the user is needed. Personally I'd rather not have a popup-dialog box. Any suggestions?
Confirmed here. I had to start it via console to find out why it did nothing when trying to play a dvd. In my case, the file permissions were incorrect, so the stout error was "libdvdread: Can't open /dev/sr0 for reading". To a newbie user, no feedback = unusable program. Unlike David, I'd like to see an error dialog in cases like this. Yes, it's annoying but if there is an error I want to have as much information as possible right 'in my face' (and not somewhere in the statusbar or sth). Additionally, David's and my case show that there should be different error messages as well, to make a difference between "I can't read that filetype" and "I can't access the DVD (check permissions)". Regards, X.W.
